AFTER A CLOSE GAME.

General sporting Notes.

MONTPELIER, July 19.-The new base
aall grounds of the Montpelier Base Ball
association were formally opened to-day
With the first league game between the
Burlington and Montpelier mines, and it
g5as pronounced the closest and most eX.
citing game played in the State, If not in
New England, this season. 1t was also a
very finely played game and the entbu-
Giasm on the part of the 1000 spectators
present was very marked. The grounds
nave not been worked sufficiently to put
fhem in first-class condition. The inteld
ID fair, but the outtield is rolling. The
grounds are far superior to those of Rat
land and proper work will make them
quite acceptable to ball players. The
E0ne was without special feature at first.
Darlington closed the first inning with
Two runs by Edmunds and Minehan and
Two in the fourth by kearney and Gran
siNie, the home team not scoring until the
afth, when runs were made by DonahOe
and Jones. In the sixth and seventh i'll
ninns runs were made by John Cunning
ham and Foster for Montpelier, Granville
relieving kittridge behind the bat at the
7psning OF the seventh. In the ninth
naansell made a run for Montpelier and in
the last half of the ninth Granville tied
The score again. The excitement now
uscsme most intense and the crowd
yelled at everything. -Four innings
we're played without runs by either side.
In the last half OF the fourteenth, however,
Darlington made a squirt. Linehan hit
Cor base and stole second. Hanrahan
made a sacrifice TIT advancing him to
shird and Edmunds's base hit brought
nm home. One OF the noticeable features

Possibly Two Sea Serpents.
From the Port Henry Herald. j

There must he two Lake Champlain sea
Serpents in this section if one was seen max
ing for Lake George this week. Mr. o. 5.
Barnum, secretary of the Il. X. Y. NJ. c. a.
of this village, tells us while at Westport
this week he had a glimpse of the monster
or one of the monsters. He says: II was
on The east shore about mile above the
village, and looking ON the water watching
a yacht headed north, when a body about 1000
yards from shore, as large around as nail
key and from 10 to ID feet long rose straight
up from the water but quickly dropped
with Il graceful curve till it lay on the wa
ter. Againts it the wave ripled as against a
log. Occasionally the end which resembled
the fiat head of a snake would rise and Il
mouth like that of an alligator be visible. -
The serpent lay in a passive state for several
minutes until Mr. Barnum discharged pis
tol at it, when there was sudden commo
ton in the water about 40 feet from the
visible part, and the animal quickly disap
peared. Although our nformer waited
nearly two hours to get sight of the mon
st2r again it did not appear. We have a
SEA serpent left even if one did get disgust
ed and slide off to Lake George.

The Morphine Habit.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

A recent editorial in the FREE PRESS ON
the abuse, not the use, of choral and NOR
phine in medicine should arouse the pub
lie like the midnight cry of fire. The hold
of the morphine habit on the community
is fearful. 1t often prevails where no one
suspects. 1t is destroying health and in.
tellect right and left. In majority of in
stances the use of the drug is commenced
IN sickness 10 allay pain or quiet disorder
ed nerves. Taken in the powder. or nv
hyperdermic injections its use suddenly
selzes upon the patient like the grasp Of
the devil fish, and its victim is nearly az
helpless The question arises is the med
cal profession responsible for so general n
use of this fearful drug. or course it has
its place in the list of necessary RENE
| dies, but to administer ii to patients day
| after day simply because the patient will
not be quiet without it, is madness. Every

How can nature do its recuperative work
when the system is deadened with this
narcotic Not a single function of the
human frame works naturally at such a

on rum, but the drunkard is king to tho
man who surrenders himself TO NOR
